[hurd, commited] hurd: _hurd_intr_rpc_mach_msg() might not preserve the correct reply port

From: Mike Kelly <mike@weatherwax.co.uk>

Calls to mach_msg_trap() that return MACH_SEND_INTERRUPTED modify the message header. A subsequent attempt at sending the message can return EINTR for handling by the caller. Mig generated code (expecting the message header to be unaltered) now fails assertion in __mig_dealloc_reply_port(). Fixed by restoring the altered message header content before reattempting RPC message delivery.
